During the Holiday season, the Townships are offering you countless opportunities for spreading joy all around, in the four corners of the region. Feel good moments, that will make you smile, that will make you dream… Moments to collect with your lover or your family. Only one rule: To make the most of these opportunities.
We’ll always come back to the skating trail along Lac Memphrémagog, right near Magog’s pretty downtown area. It’s a classic! Pro tip: The sunset over the lake is a spectacular sight, so plan accordingly.
Already a pro at skinning—or always wanted try? Mont-Orford has several uphill skiing trails and downhill trails accessible inside and outside the station’s opening hours.
Which one? Mont Gosford, at 1,193 metres. From the top, soak in the sweeping views onto the mountains of Vermont, New Hampshire, and the Mégantic region. Don’t forget to snap a selfie!
Where? At Centre d’Interprétation de la Nature du Lac Boivin, in Granby. Why? Because this conservation area is renowned for its diverse fauna, including birds that happen to like being hand-fed. It’s fun for grown-ups and totally thrilling for kids.
Did you know that on a very clear day, you can see Montreal from the top of Mont Glen? That’s just one of the fun facts you’ll learn from Sentiers de l’Estrie’s “Winter Hikes” video.
